About her

Hmmm. Me. I am your typical doting grandma with two little terrors to entertain me at weekends. I enjoy the outdoors and especially spending time in the garden.

While I trained as a nurse, and subsequently joined the army, my recent years have been more focused on local politics (still are for the next year actually) and over the years I have volunteered with several local charities.

I enjoy going to the theatre, opera, ballet, classical concerts, museums, galleries etc and I enjoy singing in my local choir - more enthusiasm than talent but my daughter still hasn't heard any "solos" from me so I can't be all bad!

I am quite arty and enjoy various crafty activities - especially if they take place on a cruise ship - my favourite type of holiday.

I'm a quiet person and my shyness makes it difficult to build new relationships or to shine through in group situations. Having been widowed for 15 years now I think its time to leave my comfort zone and give myself the kick up the backside I need to get out there and see what else life has to offer!

About her ideal match

I am looking for someone to endure the coachtrip to London with me for concerts/operas/ballets/galleries etc; someone to share a pub lunch in the depths of the countryside; someone to share our interests and hobbies; someone to explore a new place with, or to not explore and just sit in and chat about something (or nothing).
I'm not after the fairytale but if it comes along then I want to be at the bus stop!
